land leagueism by his brutality to his tenants

CHICAGO, April ia special to the Herald
from Springfield says: There was sensational
undercurrent in the House to-day over an al
legged smothering OF bill for an act to regu-
late and prevent extortion by sleeping-car COM
panes. The bill was recommended for passage
by the committee on corporations six weeks ago.
To-day. James Harrington, of the committee,
demanded to know why it was that the chair
man Mr. Decker) had carried the bill in his
pocket for six weeks since it had been recon-
mended for passage. Mr.. Decker replied that
the bill had beer carried through the committee
when there was barely quorum present, and
having been requested by mum her of the com
mittee, and by the gentleman who introduced
ir. to withhold the bill. he had done SO. This
disclosure subjected Dir. MeEligott the author
of the bill. to severe criticism, but that gentle
man declared that he had never requested Mr.
Decker to withhold the BILL but, on the con-
trary. had for TWO weeks been urging him to
report it to the House"

Regarding Sheep.

Col. Switzler, of the National Blu
reau of Statistics, concludes that it
is idle to talk about raising sseep in
this country to compete with South
Africa and Australia. Our sheep
farming, he thinks, must eventually
be confined to small flocks of inn
proved breeds, raised on farms where
they requ re little or no extra labor
1t has already come to this in Eu-
rope, and in the eastern and middle
States, finally prevailed in the West
as the large ranches are divided up
and settled. The conditions are en-
tirely different in South America,
where laborers are, at best, semi bar
barians and poems, and the immense
plains of cheap lands and torrid eli
mate seem better adapted to sheep
raising than other industries.
